Reply to Farms? (And a few other beginner questions) in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]Another question that popped up in the course of this game... how do I form alliances? I researched that tech, but all I seem to be able to do is offer/demand economic and research treaties.[/quote] You need two things after researching 'Alliances' to get in alliances with others. 1) They need the tech as well. If they haven't researched it yet, you can 'be a pal' and give it to them. They'll like you more for it. 2) Your relations with that race need to be 'c

Reply to USA Bombs Iran ???? in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]if not striking first resulted in the Iranians striking first?[/quote] Do you not realize what a slippery slope 'strike first' becomes? What happens when you strike first, which makes ANOTHER country strike instead, terrified of our 'strike first' policy? What happens when we strike WRONG? I don't know where the hell modern Americans got the idea that they need to be the world's policeman. What happened to the US? It used to be the beacon of freedom t

Reply to Movie review - The Incredible Hulk in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

[quote]I think I saw a cartoon where there was a Grey Hulk that was smart and a she-hulk, together with, I guess Betty they were looking for Bruce to help him.[/quote] Hmmmm, well that would be weird, because Bruce IS the Grey Hulk (otherwise known as 'Joe Fixit'). But maybe they twisted up the mythos for a television show. All I know is She-Hulk is super hot (I mean, 8-foot tall green goddess, man), super smart (she's a lawyer - even when she's She-Hulk, because she doesn't g

Reply to Movie review - The Incredible Hulk in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Thanks for the advice. I'll probably see them eventually. I've never been a huge Cap America fan, and I think Thor is a loser, but the Avengers were always cool. I'm just waiting for a She-Hulk movie. :d

Reply to Tell me what is a good game? in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

[quote]Ah the old AI debate![/quote] True enough. My measure of a good AI in a First Person Shooter is the ability to avoid my attacks while kicking my ass. FEAR couldn't (they died like little girls), even old-school Unreal could. I still remember the first time a Skaarj lunged out of my line of fire. I remember thinking, [I]What. In. The. HELL. Just.

Reply to Kicking Things Off in Living in Cyberspace Stardock Forums

As a long-standing blogger in Stardock's other blogging community (the black-sheep of the Stardock family, Joe User), it's exciting to see all the new blood that the Impulse blogging is bringing in - since many of the same categories are shared (thus, so are the articles) between the two sites. At any rate - let me be the (second) to say, welcome. Hope you have a good time while you're here. :CONGRAT:

Reply to Spore Creature Creator tempest in a teapot in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

Better make sure that if/when you uninstall, you get the SecuROM off. In the meantime, enjoy having it phone home around your back. ;) Therein lies the rub for me; not the demo/$10 thing, not the fact that EA is publishing it. It's the DRM. Reason enough to keep me far, far away from it.

Reply to Expelled Didn't Get Expelled in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

[quote]The film is a farce![/quote] Finally saw it. Felt exactly as adnauseum wrote. It was a ridiculous sham passed off as 'investigation' and 'reporting', built chock-full of lies and obfuscation. Truly entertaining. I haven't laughed that hard at a movie since 'Superbad'. :CONGRAT:

Reply to why we MUST stay in Iraq in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

Oh, so it's a 'secret-type' position, so there's no way to prove that you do, in fact, work for the government? So very convenient . . . and yet so implausible.

[quote]Why isn't it listed in "my games' in Impulse?[/quote] Something about that hack used to display TotA in SDC is causing it to have issues with Impulse . . . I know they're ironing it out as we speak.

You can still use them for Stardock titles and ones already on Total Gaming, but n

I turn 25 this year. 25 is the new 25, they say. PS: Tell me how the new Hulk movie is. I finally got around to seeing the 2003 one, and it was . . . disappointing.
